Chapter 62 The wind is rising
Three or four days later, Wu Qi came back with a happy face.
Not only did he bring the red lady back, but the white lady also stepped into the Shen family's door for the first time.
Chen Tianhao, the head of the Chen family, has an extraordinary spirit.
He didn't care about Wu Qi's official status at all.
Able to cooperate without confrontation.
Just send money to your door, so why refuse?
Wu Qi pointed at a row of ten sturdy knights and showed off proudly.
"Brother Lin, have you seen it?"
"This is the bodyguard assigned to our caravan by Old Village Master Chen."
"However, they will have to travel by water in the future, and it will be a pity that they are not equipped with horses."
Chen Wushuang rolled his eyes.
"Damn fat man, what are you so proud of?"
"This girl also has the right to call them."
Shen Lin didn't care at all.
Anyway, he has a reliable Liang family.
Enough.
Good at riding and shooting?
Under the threat of my master's sophisticated compound crossbow.
Are the Chen family's horse bandits still honest?
"White Snake, your style is still the same!"
Chen Wuxia moved lightly, a trace of apology flashed across her beautiful face.
"Mr. Shen, my father has already collected five hundred taels for the goods."
"But this time, Master Qi is planning to cooperate with my family to build a market, so..."
Shen Lin laughed heartily and said.
"Hahaha, I can't turn around for a while, isn't that normal?"
"Even if I use it well, I still have plenty here."
The red lady held Chen Wuxia's jade arm and said with a sweet smile.
"What, let me just say it, right? The pretty boy is a wealthy businessman. This little money is just drizzle in his eyes!"
Shen Lin deliberately said in a bad voice.
"Chen Wushuang, you damn girl, are you calling me a pretty boy again? Believe it or not, I'll show you for nothing?"
"Three years of employment? It's too short. You could just sell yourself for life."
"Humph, dreaming!" The red lady turned her head, pulled the white lady and ran away.
"Sister, let's go and take you to visit Chu'er's weaving workshop."
“Custody is an eye-opener!”
Not to mention, Shen Lin was forced to use his brain.
He personally blended several unique dyes.
I have already started dyeing cloth.
The price of seed cotton has soared, and white cotton will be almost unprofitable in the future.
Dyeable fabrics are a high-tech industry.
As long as the color of your fabric is bright enough.
Guaranteed not to shrink or fade.
The added value is almost unlimited.
For example, the retail price of white cotton cloth is up to 500 Wen.
A piece of the simplest colored blue cloth only requires one or two pieces.
And other colors are more difficult to dye.
Such as bright red, bright yellow, bright blue, light purple, light green, sky blue...
It was almost a hot commodity as soon as it came on the market.
The price is as high as three or five taels per horse.
Only middle- and high-end people can afford it.
As for more complex printing, Shen Lin has not yet overcome the technical difficulties.
He had no intention of getting involved in the printing and dyeing industry.
But we can’t really let Liu Chuer and the others become “unemployed,” right?
Save some cotton in stock at home, it can last for three months.
Then dye and dry, enough to last for more than half a year.
Wu Qi stood in the newly built dyeing workshop, stroking the pieces of beautiful colored cloth.
The guy was dancing with joy.
"Hahaha, Brother Lin, just like the poem you mentioned, what is it called..."
"Ah haha, I remember it, there is another village full of bright flowers."
"From now on, we will only sell high-end colored fabrics, and screw the white cotton fabrics. We won't care about paying them back."
"Those bastards want to raise cotton prices and choke our necks? Are you dreaming?"
"Even if weaving doesn't make money, dyeing the cloth is very profitable."
"By the way, don't dye it bright yellow!"
"We don't have a channel for tribute, so ordinary people can't use it."
"If you do it, others will think that we are in yellow robes and are going to rebel?"
Shen Lin just remembered this.
In the evil feudal society, the bright yellow color is exclusive to the Heavenly Family and is forbidden to the common people.
I went and remembered that back then, all the curtains in my house were this color.
Who cares?
"Okay, the bright yellow dye will be sealed."
Wu Qi came over with saliva.
"Adding azure, let's make five colors."
"Tell me, what's the supply price?"
Shen Lin raised three fingers without politeness.
Wu Qi suddenly jumped three feet high.
"What's going on? Three liang?"
"No, at most one, two, five."
Now, Liu Chuer couldn't stand it any longer.
"Brother Qi, a piece of white cotton weighs thirty pounds and requires a lot of dye."
"There is also labor, drying time, and space occupied."
"One, two, five, one horse, my family really doesn't make any money."
Wu Qi looked at Shen Lin suspiciously.
"Brother Lin, you and your wife won't work together to deceive Master Qi, right?"
"The green cloth on the market only costs one tael of silver per piece."
Shen Lin was disdainful.
"Old Qi, please don't tell lies with your eyes open."
"How can that kind of dull green cloth compare with high-end products like Xiaoye?"
"If the retail price of a piece of cloth is less than four taels of silver, I will lose."
Wu Qi's big copper bell eyes kept turning, and he muttered after a long while.
"You also said that was the retail price."
"The market for high-end colored fabrics is small. I need to increase the wholesale volume and sell it to other places."
"And my wholesale price can't be higher than three taels, right?"
"So, your shipping price is at most two to five, and you are not allowed to raise the price at will!"
This precaution must be discussed in advance.
Who knows when the price of seed cotton will drop?
You can't just raise the price by a penny, but you can raise it by tens or hundreds of pence, right?
Shen Lin smiled and stretched out his hand to pat.
"make a deal!"
Isn’t it so refreshing?
Wu Qi suddenly felt like he had been cheated again.
He found that Liu Chuer, who had always been honest and kind, had also changed.
She has become a shrewd landlady who is willing to spend every penny.
"By the way, those horse-cutting knives mentioned last time, five by two, are not allowed to be sharpened anymore."
A 20-pound Zhanma Dao is just a lot of consumables.
Count it as iron ore, forty pounds.
The cost is 600 cents, plus refined iron smelting and labor costs.
Shen Lin definitely earns twice as much as Wu Qi.
This is the advantage of mastering one-stop production technology.
However, Shen Lin still expressed regret on purpose.
"Damn it, you might as well make money by dyeing cloth, don't do it again!"
It seems that even if the main line of the Shen family tries to create difficulties in every possible way.
Shen Lin's development momentum is still unstoppable.
The east is not bright and the west is bright.
There are always more solutions than difficulties.
A bunch of ignorant frogs in the well.
It is very difficult to make things difficult for a senior technician who is used to the world!
But Shen Lin never expected it.
My cheap second uncle moves so fast.
Following the Pegasus message, mayors, mayors, wealthy businessmen, and gentry from all over the country received orders or invitations.
The first day of August.
The county lieutenant held a meeting to prepare the army and prevent the invaders and public security in Anding City.
The preparation of the army and public security are understandable.
As soon as Shen Zhongxin came on stage, two arresters were replaced.
He also started to rectify the five hundred unused squadron troops.
Guard against bandits?
In the past ten years, there have been no large-scale bandits in Anding County, right?
Beimang Mountain Eighteen Villages?
Even if they want to cause harm, they will also cause harm to the three nearby counties of Ma's family, Qincheng, and Yangcheng.
Who told people to be closest to Beimang Mountain?
Mangshan Village belongs to Anding County.
But the Liang family is very honest. They would rather die of poverty or starvation than rob.
Now I am following Shen Lin on the fast track to happiness and prosperity.
Could it be that Shen Laoer was using the pretext of guarding against bandits to make money to expand his own strength?
